Creating a bootable CD

Hello folks! I am trying to do some research for an office disaster recovery project=2E Can somebody point me to a good resource for learning how to create bootable Redhat Linux CDs? I would like to be able to boot from a CD in the event that I have lost my hard disk and be able to assess the replacement hard drives=2E Any resources would be greatly appreciated=2E

Hi,
according to what i know while installing or upgrading redhat it gives u an opportunity to create bootable disks.
try inserting the installation CD and instead of installing go in for upgrade.It wud prompt whether u want to create bootable disk or not

If knoppix isn't what your looking for, I still have the emergency repair CD that Linuxcare gave away at the Silicon Valley's Linux user group meeting back in 1999. I can create an ISO from it and post it on an FTP server for you ( It's probably under 40-50 mb's ) and fit's on a mini business card size CD rom. Since Linuxcare is no longer in business, I am sure that I won't be violating any copy right laws.

I am running a Dell 600sc with a PERC 2/DC raid controller. While it is true
that Knoppix boots it, the raid is not accessible. In my particular case,
this proved to be a major pain. It also gets better, the raid controller is
not compatible with the current megaraid driver distributed from RedHat and
I have been unable to find anything past 3ES that will run on it. :-(

I was trying to repartition the RAID due to an oversight on my part and it
took both 7tools from Paragon and (gag) Norton PM8 to get it done.

What a pain!!!

Just keep in mind that while it may boot to the CD, depending on the
configuration of the box it may not play.
